Courage Ability?

Courage Ability?

What does the courage ability do exactly? From the description I would guess that it improves soldiering whend defending against invasion, if that is so that would mean that the soldiering ability wich increses soldiering both invading and defending is allways a better choice?

Courage gives your ships/fleets an extra amount of attack if the enemy fleet is stronger. How exactly it works is unknown to me but you can see this in some of the game logs. The tooltip description that says that it will give extra soldiering or respect might be not accurate - at least, there's no way of confirming these bonuses in game.

In sjort, if you decide to play a game at a difficult setting (where you might be behind in military stuff or else) it might be wise to drop a point to Courage otherwise leave it blank.
